Christopher Rea

In a post on social media, Christopher Rea says he received a call from FBI Director Kash Patel to serve as co-deputy director.

And Reyes says he's honored and grateful for the opportunity.

He replaces Dan Bongino, who had a brief but tumultuous tenure at the bureau before leaving to return to hosting his conservative podcast.

Unlike Bongino, Reyes is a career FBI agent who has worked his way up through the bureau's ranks.

He began as a special agent in Texas, later holding senior national security jobs at headquarters.

Most recently, he served as the assistant director of the New York field office.

Rea will serve alongside fellow co-deputy director Andrew Bailey, a former attorney general for Missouri.
